[0032] The ball joint connecting assembly 4 in the embodiment mainly comprises a nut fixing block 41, a ball head fixing plate 43 and a ball joint 42.

The tail of the ball head rod 422 is fixedly installed on the carrier 3. It should be noted that the ball head fixing plate 43 and the nut fixing block 41 are not directly connected, but a gap is kept therebetween, so as to avoid the internal stress caused by the installation error of the ball head fixing plate 43 on the carrier 3 from damaging the normal work of the ball joint connecting assembly 4.

[0034] In the embodiment, the assembly hole 411 is of an open type.

After a long running time, the ball head part 421 will be slightly worn and needs to be replaced regularly.
[0035] Further, the tail of the ball head rod 422 is provided with a second threaded hole 423.
[0036] The second threaded hole 423 is arranged at the tail of the ball head rod 422 of the ball joint 42, so that the ball joint 42 is fixedly installed on the carrier 3 by a screw. In other embodiments, the ball joint 42 can also be fixed with the carrier 3 in other suitable connection forms.
[0037] Further, two oval holes 431 symmetrical to the ball head rod 422 are arranged on the two sides of the ball head fixing plate 43, and a third threaded hole 432 is arranged in the middle of the ball head fixing plate 43. The pin hole 433 is also arranged on the ball head fixing plate 43.
[0038] In this embodiment, two oval holes 431 are arranged on the two sides of the ball head fixing plate 43, which are matched with the ball head rod 422. The ball head fixing plate 43 is installed on the ball head rod 422 of the ball joint 42 through the oval holes 431, so that the stress load applied by the carrier 3 to the ball joint 42 can be transmitted to the ball head fixing plate 43, thereby avoiding damage to the screw at the tail of the ball joint 42 due to stress, improving the structural strength. A third threaded hole 432 is arranged in the middle of the ball head fixing plate 43, so that the ball head fixing plate 43 is fixedly installed on the carrier 3 by a screw. The pin hole 433 is also arranged on the ball head fixing plate 43, so that the ball head fixing plate 43 is positioned by a pin during installation, facilitating installation.
[0039] Further, two groups of linear guide rail pairs 2 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the frame 1. The linear guide rail pair 2 includes a vertical guide rail 21 and a sliding block 22. The vertical guide rail 21 is arranged on the frame 1, and the sliding block 22 is arranged on the vertical guide rail 21. The sliding block 22 is connected with the carrier 3.
[0040] In this embodiment, two groups of linear guide rail pairs 2 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the frame 1. The linear guide rail pair 2 mainly includes a vertical guide rail 21 and a sliding block 22. The vertical guide rail 21 is vertically fixedly installed on the frame 1, and the sliding block 22 is slidingly installed on the vertical guide rail 21, so as to ensure that the sliding block 22 can slide up and down along the vertical guide rail 21. The carrier 3 is fixedly installed on the sliding block 22, so that the carrier 3 can move up and down along the vertical guide rail 21, and the carrier 3 is guided and supported.
[0041] Specifically, the driving assembly 9 includes a servo motor 91, two pulleys 92 and a synchronous belt 93. The servo motor 91 is arranged at the bottom of the frame 1. The two pulleys 92 are arranged on the output end of the servo motor 91 and the ball screw 8 respectively. The synchronous belt 93 is arranged on the two pulleys 92.
[0042] The driving assembly 9 in the embodiment mainly comprises a servo motor 91, two pulleys 92 and a synchronous belt 93. The servo motor 91 is vertically installed at the bottom of the back of the frame 1. One of the pulleys 92 is installed on the output end of the servo motor 91, and the other pulley 92 is installed on the bottom of the ball screw 8. The synchronous belt 93 is sleeved on the two pulleys 92. The servo motor 91 drives the pulley 92 to rotate, and the pulley 92 drives the ball screw 8 to rotate through the synchronous belt 93. The ball screw 8 drives the ball nut 5 to move up and down. The ball nut 5 drives the carrier 3 to move up and down through the ball joint connection assembly 4. Since the ball joint connection assembly 4 is used to connect the carrier 3 and the ball nut 5 in the embodiment, the internal stress of the ball screw 8 pair is effectively released, the friction force received by the whole ball screw 8 pair is reduced, the load torque of the servo motor 91 is reduced, the failure rate of the equipment is greatly reduced, the maintenance difficulty of the equipment in the later period is also reduced, and the load torque of the servo motor 91 of the elevator with the ball joint connection assembly 4 is sharply reduced from more than 140 N·m to less than 60 N·m through actual project test.
[0043] In the initial state, the carrier 3 is at the bottom of the frame 1. The material to be conveyed is carried to the carrier 3. After the sensor detects that the material is in place, the servo motor 91 is started. The servo motor 91 drives the synchronous belt 93 to move through the pulley 92. The synchronous belt 93 drives the ball screw 8 to rotate. The ball screw 8 drives the ball nut 5 to move up and down. The ball nut 5 drives the nut fixed block 41 to move. The nut fixed block 41 drives the carrier 3 to move up and down through the ball joint 42. At the same time, the linear guide pair 2 on both sides of the carrier 3 also balances the movement in the constrained range, so as to realize safe conveying of goods. When the carrier 3 moves up and down driven by the ball nut 5, the driving force transmitted by the servo motor 91 is transmitted to the ball joint 42 through the nut fixed block 41. The ball head 421 of the ball joint 42 is inserted into the waist-shaped hole 413 of the nut fixed block 41. Therefore, the ball head 421 and the nut fixed block 41 are in spherical surface and plane contact and are not fixed, that is, they are soft connections. The ball head rod 422 of the ball joint 42 is fixedly connected with the carrier 3. Therefore, in this process, the ball joint 42 simultaneously bears the force of the load end and the driving end. Since it is floating spherical surface contact, the internal stress of the load will cause the ball joint 42 to slightly rotate, so that the internal stress can be effectively released. In the traditional rigid connection, the internal stress cannot be released due to machining and assembly errors, which will cause great stress on the ball nut 5. Long-term operation of the ball nut 5 and the ball screw 8 will cause different degrees of wear and failure. The ball joint connection assembly 4 used in the embodiment can effectively release the internal stress, reduce the load of the servo motor 91, prolong the service life of the ball screw 8 pair, and reduce the maintenance difficulty.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
